Cláudia Telles de Mello Mattos(Rio de Janeiro, 26 de agosto de 1957 – Ibid., 21 de fevereiro de 2020) foi uma cantora, compositora e instrumentista brasileira, de ascendência portuguesa e francesa, intérprete de canções românticas, dentre elas as mais tocadas: "Fim de Tarde" e "Eu Preciso Te Esquecer".
Filha do violonista, compositor e advogado Candinho, e de uma das precursoras da bossa nova, a cantora Sylvia Telles, Cláudia Telles, ainda menina, foi convidada pela mãe para subir ao palco do Teatro Santa Rosa, no Rio, no último show da temporada do espetáculo "Reencontro", que reuniu Sylvia Telles, Edu Lobo, Trio Tamba e Quinteto Villa-Lobos, para cantar "Arrastão" (de Edu Lobo e Vinicius de Moraes). Ficou órfã de mãe aos nove anos, tendo sido criada por seus avós maternos, tendo tido pouco contato com o pai. Aos dezesseis anos, após ter perdido os avós, foi viver sozinha no apartamento que era de sua mãe, em Copacabana. Nesta época trabalhava em musicais no teatro.
Cláudia iniciou sua carreira fazendo coro para artistas famosos em suas gravações, entre eles The Fevers, Roberto Carlos, José Augusto, Gilberto Gil, Jerry Adriani, Jorge Ben, Belchior, Simone, Rita Lee, Fafá de Belém, entre vários outros. Sua chance de "brilhar" veio, entretanto, quando uma amiga do Trio Esperança, Regina, precisou se afastar do grupo por causa da gravidez, Claudia a substituiu em gravações e shows, ganhando experiência de público. Daí para frente ela se dedicaria completamente à arte musical.
Além das gravações em estúdio, Claudia foi crooner do conjunto de Chiquinho do Acordeon, um dos mais conceituados da época, durante um ano. Saiu quando Walter D'Ávila Filho, ao escutar uma música nova de seu parceiro e também produtor na época da CBS (hoje Sony Music) Mauro Motta, se lembrou dela e de sua voz - um pouco parecida com a da mãe, mas com um timbre metálico, diferente das vozes que havia no mercado e deu-lhe, a título de experiência a “tal” música para gravar. O sucesso foi estrondoso.
A música logo passou aos primeiros lugares das paradas. Todos queriam saber de quem era aquela voz suave e vieram os diversos convites para programas de televisão. O público jovem se identificou imediatamente com aquela menina de cabelos escorridos, tímida, que lhes derramava versos de amor. "Fim de Tarde" foi um dos grandes sucessos daquele ano de 1976 e agora menina-mulher, amadurecida pelo tempo e pelas circunstâncias, conhecia a fama. Foram vendidas mais de 500 mil cópias do compacto simples, o que lhe valeu o primeiro disco de ouro da carreira, oportunidades para excursionar e também para gravar a música em inglês e espanhol.
Aos 19 anos, Cláudia se projetava nos mesmos caminhos antes trilhados com incomparável êxito pela mãe. Passou então a ser requisitada para shows, cantando do samba ao bolero. Mas sua paixão era a Bossa Nova, chegando a ser considerada a mais perfeita intérprete de "Dindi", uma das muitas músicas que havia feito de sua mãe uma celebridade e unanimidade nacional, ultrapassando as fronteiras do Brasil.
No seu primeiro LP, em 1977, Claudia regrava “Dindi”, de Tom Jobim e Aloysio de Oliveira, grande sucesso na voz de sua mãe, e faz mais dois grandes sucessos, “Eu preciso te esquecer” e “Aprenda a amar”.
Cláudia nunca escondeu de ninguém o prazer que sentiu ao gravar "Dindi", um dos grandes sucessos de Sylvinha Telles: "Foi uma forma de homenageá-la". A homenagem foi além, veio em forma de batalha. A mesma batalha empreendida por Sylvinha para mostrar o que queria e do que era capaz, apenas com uma diferença: a dura comparação do seu trabalho com o da mãe, a eterna luta para provar que chegou onde quis sem nunca contar apenas com o fato de ser mais uma filha da mãe famosa.
Quatro anos após o sucesso de "Fim de Tarde", em entrevista à revista O Cruzeiro, contou do seu desejo de resgatar à memória os sucessos da Bossa Nova. Seria um tributo a sua mãe e ao maior movimento da história da música brasileira. Entrou em contato com sua gravadora e discutiram esta possibilidade. A ideia, entretanto, nunca saiu da gaveta, deixando seu sonho adormecido por algum tempo.
Tudo se perdeu
Foi tudo em vão
Da vida que eu pensei
De um sonho a dois

No meu peito uma saudade
Veio sem querer
E as coisas que são tuas
Eu não posso esquecer

Tanto tempo
Eu tive pra dizer
Que tudo que eu te fiz
Foi sem querer

Já não tem por que chorar
Se eu sei que te perdi
E a mágoa que você deixou
Só faz eu te dizer agora

(2x):
Eu preciso te esquecer
E ter que seguir
Sem pensar em você
Uh, uh, uh!

I've heard it all before
A love is a two way street
You have to give something to this relationship
I'm all out of understanding
It's always something with you
And all I've got to say is

Gave you the best, best years of my life and I
Gave you a woman who stood by your side
Through all your ups and downs
Your rights and all your wrongs
And God knows there were wrongs
I should've been long gone, but when I

Made you that promise for better or worse I said I'd
Stand by your side, I swallowed my pride
And now you're asking me to understand
And I'm telling you I can't
Why should I care about your feelings
When you don't give a damn about mine

Well, I don't want to know
I couldn't care less about your feelings
Don't you know
You should've cared more about mine
And I don't want to know
It really doesn't matter why you're leavin'
You should know
You're really throwin' away your life
And I won't sympathize
You've hurt me for the last time
Got no more tears left to cry

Baby, gave you three hearts
One boy and one girl and a
A woman who loves you
We're sittin' here falling apart
All through your ins and outs
Your fears and all your doubts

God knows there been doubts
But we've given you a home, and you're just
Throwing it away baby
All for some girl born yesterday
And what about your children
There is nothing to explain

But still you're asking us to understand
Well I'm telling you we can't
Why should we care about your reasons
When you're walking right out of our lives

And I don't want to know
I couldn't care less about your feelings
Don't you know
You should've cared more about mine
And I don't want to know
It really doesn't matter why you're leavin'
You should know
You're really throwin' away your life
And I won't sympathize
You've hurt me for the last time
Got no more tears left to cry

Say goodbye to all the love and memories
One last time, one good look at all the love
That won't be in your life
Say goodbye I hope that you'll be happy
Don't look back, 'cause it'll be too late
I've gone on with my life

And I don't want to know
I couldn't care less about your feelings
Oh, don't you know
You should've cared more about mine
And I don't want to know
It really doesn't matter why you're leavin'
You, you should know
You're really throwin' away your life
And I won't, I won't, I won't sympathize
You've hurt me, hurt me, hurt me for the last time
Got no tears left to cry, no no.

SONGWRITER: MICHAEL GEORGE & RIDGELEY ANDREW J
COUNTRY: U. K.
ALBUM: CARELESS WHISPER
LABEL: EPIC RECORDS
GENRE: BALLAD

YEAR: 1984

Co-written and produced by George Michael, 'Careless Whispers' was released by Wham! on their album 'Make It Big'. George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley wrote it together when they were 17 years old.
George Michael explained in his autobiography, Bare, "With 'Careless Whisper' I remember exactly where it first came to me, where I came up with the sax line... I remember I was handing the money over to the guy on the bus and I got this line, the sax line..."
The song was inspired by the George Michael's relationships with two girls: Helen and Jane.
George Michael(born Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou; 25 June 1963 – 25 December 2016) was an English singer, songwriter, record producer, and philanthropist who rose to fame as a member of the music duo Wham! and later embarked on a solo career. Michael sold over 80 million records worldwide making him one of the best-selling music artists of all time. He achieved seven number one songs on the UK Singles Chart and eight number one songs on the US Billboard Hot 100. He was widely known for his success in the 1980s and 1990s, including Wham! singles such as "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" and "Last Christmas" and solo singles such as "Careless Whisper" and "Faith".
Michael formed the duo Wham! With Andrew Ridgeley in 1981. The band's first two albums, Fantastic(1983) and Make It Big(1984), reached number one on the UK Albums Chart and the US Billboard 200. Michael's first solo single "Careless Whisper" reached number one in over 20 countries, including the UK and US. Michael's debut solo album, Faith, was released in 1987, topping the UK Albums Chart and staying at number one on the Billboard 200 for 12 weeks. Four singles from the album--"Faith", "Father Figure", "One More Try", and "Monkey"--reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100. Faith was named Album of the Year at the 31st Grammy Awards. Three years after the release of Faith, Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1(1990) was released; that album included the Billboard Hot 100 number one "Praying for Time". "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me", a 1991 duet with Elton John, was also a transatlantic number one.
Michael won various music awards including two Grammy Awards, three Brit Awards, three American Music Awards, four MTV Video Music Awards and six Ivor Novello Awards. In 2004, the Radio Academy named Michael the most played artist on British radio during the period 1984–2004. In 2008, he was ranked 40th on Billboard's list of the Greatest Hot 100 Artists of All Time.
I feel so unsure
As I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor
As the music dies something in your eyes
Calls to mind a silver screen and all its sad goodbyes

I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool

I should have known better than to cheat a friend
And waste a chance that I'd been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you

Time can never mend
The careless whispers of a good friend
To the heart and mind ignorance is kind
There's no comfort in the truth, pain is that all you'll find

I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool

I should have known better than to cheat a friend
And waste a chance that I'd been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you

With or without your love

Tonight the music seems so loud
I wish that we could lose this crowd
Maybe it's better this way
We'd hurt each other with the things we want to say

We could have been so good together
We could have lived this dance forever
But now, who's gonna dance with me?
Please stay

I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool
I should have known better than to cheat a friend
And waste a chance that I'd been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you
(Now that you're gone)
Now that you're gone
(Now that you're gone)
Was what I did so wrong?
So wrong that you that you had to leave me alone?

I just wanted you to comfort me
When I called you late last night you see
I was falling into love
Yes I was crashing into love
Of all the words you said to me
About Life, The Truth, and Being Free
Yeah you sang to me
Oh how you sang to me

Girl I live for how you make me feel
So I question all this being real
Cause I'm not afraid of love
For the first time I'm not afraid to love
This day seems made for you and me
And you showed me what life needs to be
Yeah you sang to me
Oh you sang to me

All the while you were in front of me I never realized
I just can't believe I didn't see it In your eyes
I didn't see it, I can't believe it
Oh but I feel it, when you sing to me
How I long to hear you sing beneath the clear blue skies
And I promise you this time I'll see it in your eyes
I didn't see it, I can't believe it
Oh but I feel it, when you sing to me

Just to think you live inside of me
I had no idea how this could be
Now I'm crazy for your love
Can't believe I'm crazy for your love
The words you said just sang to me
And you showed me where I wanna be
You sang to me
Oh you sang to me

All the while you were in front of me I never realized
I just can't believe I didn't see it In your eyes
I didn't see it, I can't believe it
Oh but I feel it, when you sing to me
How I long to hear you sing beneath the clear blue skies
And I promise you this time I'll see it In your eyes
I didn't see it, I can't believe it
Oh but I feel it, when you sing to me

All the while you were in front of me I never realized
I just can't believe I didn't see it In your eyes
I didn't see it, I can't believe it
Oh but I feel it, when you sing to me
How I long to hear you sing beneath the clear blue skies
And I promise you this time I'll see it In your eyes
I didn't see it, I can't believe it
Oh but I feel it, when you sing to me

All the while you were in front of me I never realized
I just can't believe I didn't see it In your eyes
I didn't see it, I can't believe it
Oh but I feel it, when you sing to me
How I long to hear you sing beneath the clear blue skies
And I promise you this time I'll see it In your eyes
I didn't see it, I can't believe it
Oh but I feel it, when you sing to me.
